Far too expensive if they gave it away
I'm sorry, but this is one game I can never be won over on. I bought LoM when it first came out and it was, at that time and probably still to this day, the buggiest mess in computer gaming history. Bitter about that--all games were forty or fifty bucks a shot back then, and came only from brick and mortar stores--I waited and waited for it to be patched, attempting to wring some enjoyment out of it along the way. I failed miserably at the latter, even after eventually, much, much later, achieving the former. This game has just always and in every way, for me, sucked--and I really, really wanted to like i, believe me. I gave it every chance, but even the music, which I can still hear clearly in my head to this day (some might say that's a sign of its greatness, but not me), depresses me beyond any ability of mine to convey. It's not that the music is technically bad or anything, it's just repulsive--it casts an ultra-dreary pall over the whole experience that makes you feel like slitting your wrists would bring more joy than playing for one more second. And the graphics? Well, if this tells you anything: the first time I fired it up, back in 1998, I was knocked back on my heels by how bad the graphics were. No other game I can recall made me feel that way, and I assure you I bought and played plenty of them back then. Everything in LoM is just a muddy, ugly stew of competing colors... And the animations for the rts combat portion of the game? Lol. Just lol. Of course, the AI wasn't/isn't good enough for them to really matter, so it can be kind of amusing watching your creatures wander around semi-aimlessly, like dueling chunks of meat in a boiling stewpot, when they should be defending your magical interests with some seriousness of purpose. Now maybe you shouldn't listen to me. Maybe I'm exaggerating too much. Others, after all, claim to like, and even love, this game. I don't care. I hate it with a passion, and my opinion was not come by cheaply. So I say if you're looking for a good, fun, joyous time, do a textbook 180 at this game and run as fast as you possibly can until you hit something--anything--else.
Hilft dir das weiter?
